From water we were born,
From water your spirit was made,
From water we were provided food,
From water, a source of child's play.
We pranced along the shoreline,
We returned beached stars to the sea,
We sat upon the rocky shores,
We predicted at what could be.
The Sea carries dhows across sunny days
The Sea breaks them at a start,
The Sea is the giver of gifts,
The Sea can tear things apart...
By the Sea our love was kindled,
By the Sea our love grew strong,
By the Sea our bond was forged,
the Sea was where we belonged.
We had broken the Law of the Land,
The price paid was dear to me
By the window of my cell, I murmur still...
From the sea, of the sea, to the sea
